Bad thermostats and bad radiator caps happen, right out of the box. Is it getting "hot"...? ...or is it blowing all the water out of the system first, then...
Good question. Are you sure you have good flow through the radiator ? Open the cap , ( not after it's hot though , open it when cold ) & watch for flow .I've...
I'd guess thermo also. I am undergoing a similar problem on my new 350. No fan, but using an electric fan. The new thermo out of the box was not opening until...
